    During this intervening decade, a pharma company called #Ferring has conducted clinical trials on FMTs and received approval for an FMT product called #Rebyota. The process for making Rebyota is effectively identical to the process used by Openbiome: collect poop, remove solids, test for pathogens, add glycerol, freeze and ship.

    The main difference between Rebyota and Openbiome's poop is price. While Openbiome charges $1-2k per treatment, Rebyota charges *$10,800*.
